Space... The Final Frontier

Do you want to explore the final frontier?

How?

If this trip interests you, read on. There are a list of requirements to go, such as you have to be above ten years old, and under 80 years. We are sorry for the age requirements it is just a safety precaution. If you meet the first requirements don't get to excited you still have to have a blood pressure between (120/80- 140/90). Having a blood pressure in that range is very important to survive the trip. If you have passed these requirements you have a chance of going. Just send in an application and we will contact you if you are accepted. Once you are accepted you have to pay 100 million dollars a person. That is fairly cheap for a trip through the universe.

The picture to the right is a picture of a Neutron Star. You could possibly see one of these on your trip. A Neutron Star is a star in which all the atoms have become neutrons, and the star has collapsed in causing it to be very dense.

Average Main Sequence Star

This is the most popular type of stars and it is about halfway through its life span.

Massive Main Sequence Star

This star is very similar to the average main sequence star, except it burns much hotter and brighter for a lot shorter of a time.

Quasar

A Quasar is a a star-like object that produces a massive amount of energy and light. You will not see these on your trip because they are the furthest object away from us that we know of. Some scientist believe they are the opposite of a black hole and this is where matter enters the universe.

The Trip Guide

On the trip you will be stopping a total of 4 times. During these four stops we will be looking at some of the great sights in our galaxy. As we are traveling from stop to stop you will be able to see many things as well.

Stop 1

Supernova

This is a picture of a supernova. A Supernova is when a massive star collapses in on its self causing the outside layers to explode out into space.

Stop 2

Red Giant

A Red Giant is a large reddish star late in its life cycle. The star starts to expand from a main sequence when there is no more hydrogen to burn, so it starts burning helium.

Black Hole

A Black Hole is an object so massive and dense that it sucks in everything, counting light. It forms when a massive star collapses in on itself.

Red Super Giant

A Red Super Giant is the same as a Red Giant except the super giant comes from a massive star, not an average star.

Stop 3

Globular Cluster

A tight grouping of old, bright stars. The cluster looks like a ball and contains approximately 1 million stars.

Open Cluster

A Open Cluster is a group of young stars that are more spread apart compared to the Globular Cluster. It only contains a few thousand stars.

Planetary Nebula

A Planetary Nebula is formed when a star no longer can produce energy through fusion, so the outside layers are gently thrown out into space.

Stop 4

Spiral Galaxy

A Spiral Galaxy is a galaxy that has arms that come out from the center bulge. The Milky Way (our galaxy) is a Spiral Galaxy.

Elliptical Galaxy

An elliptical Galaxy has no arms and looks like a bright bulge. The galaxy is made up of mainly old stars.

Stellar Nebula

A large cloud of gas and dust; mainly hydrogen and helium. They can be light-years across. When gravity starts to condense the gas and dust together, a star begins to form.

White Dwarf

A White Dwarf star is a star that is the remains of an old star. It is dim and small, but still very hot.
